This project created a batch pallet tracking system that connects QR-based identification with machine vision and SCADA dashboards to increase production visibility.
Batch Pallet System
Pallet tracking system that uses QR identification, FANUC vision, and Ignition SCADA for batch visibility.
Key Reminders
- Explain how QR identification ties pallets to batch records.
- Discuss the vision system integration with robot or inspection stations.
- Highlight the SCADA dashboards and operator workflows.
Technologies
System Overview
Implemented batch-level pallet tracking to improve material traceability and station coordination on the manufacturing floor.
System Architecture
QR codes identify each pallet. A FANUC vision system reads identifiers and feeds batch state into Ignition for monitoring and reporting.
ladder code
Code example forthcoming
Vision handshaking and pallet state update logic.
Data and HMI
Ignition dashboards visualize pallet location, batch status, and exception handling for operators and supervisors.
Testing and Validation
Validated QR read rates, data integrity, and end-to-end traceability across simulated batch runs.
Demo and Next Steps
Future work includes expanded analytics for throughput bottlenecks and predictive maintenance triggers.
